The feeding amounts are double what most cats required. My cats get 25g of dried food each in the morning (vet essentials young adult) and 1 Waitrose essential pouch each at night. They are lean mean racing machines, I can't bear for my pets to be overweight.

mine get whatever they ask for. Tonight between them they have eaten some dried food and 2 pouches of whiskers. They have a tiny breakfast and mostly Max the boy cat isn't around until night, so I think that is average for the day. But they will only eat the one with the jelly, nothing else oh no otherwise they will refuse and miow me to distraction. They are average weight and about 5yo. It really varies though as we live in the country and in the summer they eat a load of wild food which supplements their diet.

Mine has a wet pouch, dry food all day and dreamies when she looks sad. She is a rescue cat though ( from mumsnet) and was so thin and gaunt that it makes me happy to see her a bit podgy. That is probably not the right attitude though.

Mine get 70g Almo tinned food in the morning & 45g of Almo dry food in the evening.

Do not know how much the cats weigh, but they both still need kitten-sized collars (& have lots of growing room left!) & blond!cat, in particular, is Very Fluffy Indeed so I have to watch (esp as he is a very active little boy) that he's not getting too skinny.

I feed mine dry food as he wants it.There's always food available to him.

Have also done this with previous cats and I've never had an over weight one.I always thought they self regulate their intake - I realise now that it isn't always the case that they do,but mine always have.

my slightly chubby tabby has 40g of Hills tooth diet split into two meals, morning and just before bed and a dessertspoonful of wet food when we have our evening meal with the occasional treat when dd's trying to teach her a trick!

She lives for food and it does seem really mean to give her such a little amount but she is gradually losing weight and only has a little way to go until she's reached her/our target

I'd always thought that cats self-regulated but she would quite happily gorge herself until she threw up so we got her a food maze which means she has to work a bit to get the dry food and unless she's actually hungry she won't bother

Seniorboy is allowed to eat at will. Two thirds of a pouch at each of breakfast and tea (for his meds), a cooked meat treat at lunchtime and half a pouch for late supper. I've started adding some Crunchy dry food to his supper bowl to see if that will counteract a very gradual weight loss and that has gone down very well.

I refill the bowl when it's empty. BettyCat used to get a pouch of wet food every day, but I knocked that on the head as it was getting expensive and she was getting picky. There was a week of bleating, but now she's used to dry only. Currently working our way through an enormous amount of IAMS from when it was on 3-for-2 last autumn. She looks pretty good, she's three.

same here Usual Only the chicken one, so I buy a mixed box of the Whiskas in jelly and make them eat the other flavours. Fucking things will happily chew through a field mouse leaving only the kidneys but try to get them to eat beef Whiskas..............

my four get one tin of butchers classic between them Am and in the afternoon they get half a mug of feline fayre dry and the odd treat like if im making a ham sandwich they can have half a slice each and wheight wise the tuxedos are small as in about 2.5 kgs each the gignga ninja wheighs about 6kg and the half siamese thug wheighs 4.5kgs all of them are the right wheight for thier bone structures so i guess they are getting the right amount

My two have half a tin of wet cat food each a day, split in the morning and evening. They don't have dry food as it makes them sick. One cat is tiny and sleek and the other is round and fat-she also has the shortest legs ever and I sometimes wonder how they hold her up. She looks like one of those cottage loaves!!

They get fed exactly the same, so I assume cat shapes vary as much as humans!!
